Changing road rules

sunmarty

he changes to the give-way rules come into effect at 5am on Sunday 25 March 2012. Until then the current give-way rules apply.These changes will affect all drivers, riders, pedestrians and cyclists in New Zealand.
The left turn versus right turn give-way ruleThis applies at  intersections where either:

• both       cars are uncontrolled by signs or signals, or
• both       cars are controlled by the same sign or signal (eg Give Way signs, Stop       signs, or green traffic signals).
  

      Current rules:
     Vehicle turning left has to give way.


                      New rules from 25 March 2012:
             Vehicle turning right has to give way.
  

Uncontrolled T-intersectionsAn uncontrolled T-intersection is one with no Give Way sign, Stop sign, or traffic signals.
                      Current rules:
            Vehicle turning right from continuing road has to  give way.


                      New rules from 25 March 2012:
             Vehicle turning right from terminating road has to give way.
  

It is  estimated that the changes to the give-way rules will reduce intersection  crashes and  improve safety, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.
The  changes will result in less complex decision-making at intersections. Drivers  of  left-turning  vehicles will only need to check whether there are pedestrians crossing  the  road into which they are turning, and whether there are any cyclists on the  left of  their  vehicle. The driver of a right-turning vehicle will need to assess only whether there  is a sufficient gap in the oncoming traffic.
The  changes are also expected to marginally reduce the risk of a right-turning  vehicle  at an uncontrolled T-intersection being hit in the rear by straight-through  traffic.
